- “This is in line with our expectations for another RRR cut by year-end. We expect a broad-based RRR cut by 25 or 50bps,” said Liu Peiqian, chief China economist at NatWest Group Plc. “The announcement may be imminent, as early as this Friday, since the State Council has signaled the policy move.”
